I think this dual SIM is more of an Indian disease. I have had only one phone for almost all the time since 1999 when I took on a mobile.

India , China , Brazil , Middle East or wherever open markets exist.

Personally I see dual SIM as great solution, Why do I say that because there is a great demand for expense management solutions by business and in absence of dual SIM in USA and EU they are moving to cloud based solutions
or software based second line calling ( similar to google voice)

There is strong arm twisting from operators on OEM for all network related features. So you won't find any dual SIM device in operator subsidized market even as an open model.
Since flagships are always designed keeping big operators in mind you won't find dual SIM phones in premium models of major manufacturers either.

Going with your original requirements, try the Lenovo P780. Covers most if not all your requirements. Comes with dual sim, 4000 mah battery, a 5 inch display with 1280*780 display, etc. Not sure if the update to Kitkat has happened yet but it did come with JB.

My dad has been using it for the last year or so and is in love with it. He runs 3G on it on one sim and uses the other number for his work calls and with that, the battery lasts him about 2 days, which I thought for a 5 inch phone was amazing.

Also, since it is a bit dated-a year old-you could find it at the 15k-17k mark. Or lower.

Guys I have ordered the Xiaomi Redmi 1s on yesterday's flash sale on FK. One of my friend has this phone and when I asked him to check the SAR rating by dialing *#07#, he said it isn't displaying the values but on the box the value is written as 1.210W/kg (MAX). It doesn't show the individual values for head and body.

Are these normal and is there any other way to verify these?
